One of my favorite all time rock riffs. Smokehouse from Ill. did a great cover of this tune, and that turned me on to the other Tommy Bolin riffs when I was in college. He really was a master of rock guitar at that time. Still enjoy this stuff to this day.
Teaser is one of those songs where all you need to hear is the first note and you know exactly what song it is! My first husband loved Tommy Bolin and played this album til I think he wore it out. I think him turning me onto Mr.Bolin was the only thing I can honestly say he did worth while!
@DJMarl Especially now since Sony-BMG (who owns the rights TB's "Teaser" & "Private Eyes") is doing a "2 for the price of 1/back to back album" album deal (digitally remastered & all.) Both Bolin albums went Top 100. Sony-BMG should do a "Teaser" & "Private Eyes" back to back deal. I'd buy it for sure.
Why the entire "Teaser" LP is not available at iTunes is a mystery?
My dad got me hooked on Tommy when he dusted off some old pictures, taken the same night that "First Time Live" was recorded at the La Paloma in Encinitas. Fantastic guitarist.
Next to jimi hendrix...TOMMY BOLIN was the greatest guitar player of all time...who could play ANY type of music on the guitar...ANY TYPE and thats what made he great....100 times better than that nerd....Blackmore. R. i. P. Tommy Bolin...Dec 4th, 1976
Tommy B. still lives in Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania. U . S. A. I LOVE YOU Man whever you are , I hope its a GOOD Place , because you always put me in one . Joey
Hey, "winterlandkid" , you are not very observate! Of flipping, f...... course the man was a "Frkkin GOD"! Did / do you see the 'quality' of the comment! He was a phenomial guitar player; it was too bad he did not come to realize that ! 'You of course, realized this and no one else did' Yes, he did have a distinctive style; he made the flipping guitar 'howl'! Any one, else, except yourself would have never guessed who it was; if a 'trivia' question was ever 'raised'!
I'm from his hometown (Sioux City), and saw him perform in a place called Buffalo Alice's after he played his Tour date at the auditorium, a few months before his death. He did a lot of improv of Private Eyes songs, and if memory serves, was backed by a few locals.
It's great to hear without the skips and pops of my vinyl copy. Many thanks!
I was luchy to see him with Zephyr, two times, Friday and Sunday, back at the Mile High Rock Festival, in June-July 1969. Zephyr was the best part, even with great teams in such as Johnny Winter, Iron Butterfly, Hendrix, etc etc.
Tommy Bolin guitar solo from the Zephyr era...check it out! Other stuff is out there, but not much that includes original audio, as does this cool Zephyr video of Tommy's solo.
I live where he was born and I've met his brother.. really cool guy.

They need to digitally remaster and re-release his catalog of albums. Get his stuff back out there for the new generations to hear.

The demo version of this tune is very different, more spooky and just guitar and vocals and definitely cool in and of itself.
